You are correct. However some will go lower than 3"- This will cause premature inner tire wear, Front end "hopping", and you simply won't get it fully aligned as you will be out of alignment specifications. You will also notice your steering will when driving "straight" will be turned slightly to the left. This is a tell tale sign your too low in the front.
mine does none of that...just chews up tires!

Not sure...my axles have a slight upward angle...but I've had it lowered for over 30000miles and no trouble or nosie out of them....just eatin up tiresI thought the same thing and decided not to slam it. A torsion bar delete kit is supposed to be in the works. If that comes through, I'll slam the truck and get cvs for the front. -
Cool...thanks guys ill check them bushings out...that's a whole lot easier than building some tubular arms. I really like the way it sits now and would rather buy tires everyother month than raise the front end back up! But thanks for the help!Had the same problem when I had keys and spindles, bought the belltech bushings and corrected it perfect!!! -
i dropped my AWD SS 4/6 with keys and spindles and cant get the camber any better than -1 degree....the essentrics are maxxed out...does anyone make a camber kit or longer upper control arms or anything to fix that? I had thought about building a set longer and changing the ball joint angle so it was better but does anyone have any ideas?

I agree but polishing does absolutely nothing to improve performance... the only thing that improves anything would be the porting.
agree...but appearance is everything....if you were to sit one polished and one not polished side by side same perf. which you you rather have
-
Also FYI 100 bucks to port and polish is kinda high... Jantzer only charges 60 bux and he has a reputation that is 5 miles long.
thats cool...anyone can make an offer... i just know that I spend 2-3 hours just polishing it by hand...not bragging but some cheaper polished wheels arent polished as good
-
you can cut the stop, cut the front support for the butterfly, and port and polish them. If you haven't done them before you have to becareful that you dont screw up the shaft retainer or you will be buying another core.
yea havent done one yet...but the others are blended to the blade so shouldnt run into trouble....we bore some tbs out at work for some imports i wasnt sure if you could bore those out or not

You guys pushing snow with your front bumpers might want to use caution, the SS front bumper covers have been known to split.
i was worried about that the snow was very wet and heavy...but you know it pisses the lifted guys of when u pass them
-
How'd she do?? Looks like she showed the snow who was boss.
It did great..i had to stop for a pic then it came right up. Ive never had anything that pulls like these do...you can feel the back end dancing side to side to side a bit and the front end is just pullin...crazy
-
Yea maybe if I can come up on some extra cash
is yours cable driven or electronic....might could do more with the cable ones ill look into it
-
i can vouche for him. i put his ported and polished tb on friday. it looked great and nicely done. he did great work. i noticed improved throttle response and it seems to coast alot better.
Thanks man

ive been playin with mine in martinsville va we got 8 inches
-
stock and ported
-
ive done a search about stock ported throttle bodies and the guy who was doing it is no longer as far as i can tell. i had done one for my truck and one for another guy on here and we both noticed some gains...for me huge throttle response...if anyone would be interested in getting one ported let me know...i can do your stock one or theres a company that sells them on ebay off of LS1 crate motors and they are brand new. was thinking around $100 with a supplied throttle body and around $200 if i buy one for you as long as that company stays on ebay. simple driveway 10 minute bolt on!
-
ive got a ported stock one...only 87.7 miles on it while i ported mine....throttle response is greatly inproved..$200 or $100 if you send me your stock one after your switch it
-
hey ive got a ported throttle body ill trade you if your interested.....i bought it new on ebay but used it for 87.7 miles while i ported mine...they are on gmpartsdirect for over $600....let me know (pic is mine but other is same)
